I understand that this is a Pick 4 workout, and you are trying to pull out all of the different 4 number "connected" combinations to later filter them and work them into a straight or boxable configuration. I am guessing here that in your previous message the number 8 in the blue highlighted cells is just a number you would like for your own reasons in the combinations that you would play.
Bad part #1) I simply cannot come up with a logical or mathematical way to find all of the permutations of 4 numbers that touch each other that the grid holds. Bad part #2) This can be done manually given days, weeks, or even months of creating and recording all of the step 1 starting points and possible step 2, 3, and 4 permutations available from each starting point. I believe the number of permutations will easily go in the hundreds, and probably thousands of total combinations. Of course you have said that you will filter down with whatever process you wish to use to find your desired numbers to play.
If each of these 4 step permutations were recorded in a row and column format (r1-c1 through r1-c11) or an all cells have a unique format the results could be used as a template that would produce all of the 4 number combinations for you nearly instantly. But again, that would be a *LOT* of manual work but you would have to do it only once.
I analyzed the last message about the frequency being 'off' and created some tables for you to see from the 10 line grid. If you used an 11th line in the workout the results below would change, but you could just modify what I did to compensate for adding the 11th line by using the same procedure as outlined next.
In the first table I just kept the numbers we are looking for to make it easier on the eyes (and brain). Then I took each number in turn as a starting point to hunt for the remaining 3 numbers as per the rules that they have to touch each other by a side or point in any direction.
The second table shows what I found beginning with the number in each column and row corresponding to the first table.
The third table's columns show all numbers found, then sorted, then dupes, then uniques remaining.
I ended up with 12 unique numbers after removing 5 dupes after sorting. Since each 4 digit number has 4 permutations, my best guess would that the website is counting the permutations as a unique number, hence the reported frequency number of 48.
Right now my 'thinker' is really tired and needs a break.
Does this make things better or worse?
Please forgive the x's but they were necessary to hold a cell resemblance to the Excel spreadsheet I used. Just replace them with spaces as needed for a cleaner look. The tables are:
